Does it get any cuter than this?
Apple and banana slices coated in pancake batter and cooked until golden just might be the perfect breakfast: not only are they a vehicle for your favorite pancake toppings (warm maple syrup, anyone?), but they're an easy-peasy way to add a full serving of fruit to your child's morning meal. Similar to the Tik Tok famous pancake cereal, these pancake bites are just plain fun to eat—no matter your age.
Directions
- Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Place a nonstick pan on medium heat and add a bit of butter or oil.
- Dip sliced bananas and/or apples into the pancake batter until well coated. Cook in batches until golden brown, flipping each pancake bite halfway through.
- Serve with your favorite pancake toppings and enjoy!
Nellie's Notes
When making the pancake batter, adjust the brown sugar to your liking. If using bananas, which are naturally very sweet, 1 tablespoon should be adequate. If using a tart variety of apple, 2 tablespoons will help balance out the flavor.
